Im considering going with some electric cutouts but had a few questions. First off, how would they work with a tune? I have a bama tuner already but would i get a tune for having them open? Would that mess anything up when i close them? Second, what's the life span on them? I have looked at a few brands like pypes and qtp. Any and all help is appreciated

A good quality kit should last for just about forever. And no you don't need a tune for them since you won't be daily driving with them open, at least most people don't. Flipping them open for a couple minutes isn't going to make your computer go wonky and hurt the car. My choice of product would personally be QTP

I have QTP cutouts and love em. I almost always run with them open. It's loud I guess but not crazy loud unless I'm throttling it. Mine are probably closer to the mufflers as opposed to the headers. It sounds like it means business but doesn't sound like I have no exhaust.

I have a Roush charger and running a Roush safe tune and have 0 problems.
